How it works

The product is formulated with petrolatum, which acts as a barrier to help protect the skin and retain moisture, reducing the risk of further drying or irritation. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Avocado Oil provide moisturizing properties, enhancing skin suppleness and conditioning. Microcrystalline Wax and Beeswax contribute to the balm's texture and help create a waterproof barrier, which supports long-lasting skin hydration. Shea Butter offers additional moisturizing benefits, while Tocopherol, known as Vitamin E, provides antioxidant protection. Panthenol helps the skin maintain moisture, making it look smoother and more hydrated. The combined action of these ingredients aims to support the skin’s barrier function and alleviate signs of dryness and chapping.
